Unfortunately Vick has a bit of a history with canis familiaris. Remember the rape stand? Bad times. Back to the original point, Vick told The Grio that in the future he’d like to be a dog owner. You know, the non-murderous kind. He believes that it could aid in his rehabilitation, plus his daughters really want a puppy.

Not everyone is on board. Andrew Sharp of SB Nation calls it a “terrible idea,” while Chris Chase, arbiter of timeliness and writer for Shutdown Corner, declares it “too soon.” He goes on to concede that, “In time, it might make sense for him to own a dog.” Which is pretty much what Vick meant when he said, “”I would love to get another dog in the future.”

By all accounts Vick has done a lot good work with the Humane Society since his release. I personally don’t have a problem with the Vick family adopting a dog in the future, as long as his friends at the Humane Society are on board. Just don’t let him adopt TWO dogs. That’s where the trouble starts.

“We wanted a puppy for Christmas, but dad said he would just drown it or something.”

Well I hope he explain to his kids what he did. Really it is movitvational for them. It shows them how daddy deals with those who disappoint him. No teenage pregnancy for them.

I also here he wants to open Good Newz Kennels where he and rescued pitbulls reenact that Passion of our Lord Jesus Christ. Now with 100% more shocking.

This is ridiculous! I mean, it would be like not letting convicted pedophiles around children after they have served their time!

Bad example?

“Dread Pirate Roberts says:

Sure they would. Except the fanbase pronounces the J silently. So maybe you meant that it would actually be a Haguar fanbase.

What a sick joke. NFL fans are beyond pathetic in their enabling hero worship of these twisted freaks.

Don’t know if anyone else saw it, but somebody snuck a Tawwmy comment onto Simmons live blog. Can’t believe it actually made it through. Tawwmy was ranting about the FACKIN DAAAHKIE KNICKS getting all the calls. He had to post this apology:

sportsguy33:
Whoops – I didn’y see the whole Tammy comment, sorry about that. Deleting it now. Could only see the first 2 sentences.

sportsguy33:
Can everyone please avoid long posts with bad words near the second part of them? Trying to do this fast I can miss stuff… do it for me. Thank you.

I don’t care if Vick buys a dog, but I will laugh my ass off when PETA does something stupid to protest it.

I guess Vick doesn’t remember the terms of his release from FEDERAL prison (remember, he’s forever a convicted felon). I guess he thought the Judge would forget, too. WRONG! He has to be culpable for his actions and tell his daughter why they can never have a dog: daddy abused and killed dogs. His rehab will last for the rest of his life.
